Description

jcasgen_merge script runs Eclipse in "headless" mode. The method of starting eclipse changed in Eclipse 3.3, and the previous method which depends on startup.jar doesn't work (there is no longer a startup.jar). See the Eclipse help topic "Incompatibilities between Eclipse 3.2 and 3.3". Workaround is to use Eclipse 3.2 for this operation.
